Michelle Obama's Candid Joke: 'I'm Glad I Didn't Have a Son Like Barack!'

Michelle Obama made a snide jibe at her husband Barack as she shared how she is 'so glad' the pair never had a son because he would've been just like his father

OBAMA SHOCKER! Michelle Reveals She's Glad They Never Had a Son Because He Would've Been Just Like Barack

In a jaw-dropping episode of her podcast with brother Craig Robinson and radio host Angie Martinez, Michelle Obama dropped a bombshell that has left fans stunned: she's thrilled they never had a son because he would have been just like her husband Barack!

"I'm so glad I didn't have a boy... he would've been a Barack Obama," Michelle confessed, leaving listeners speechless. "Baby Barack! It would've been amazing!" Angie Martinez squealed in agreement, but Michelle was unapologetic. "Oh no. I would've felt for him."

Earlier this week Michelle was spotted having lunch with a surprising date at an exclusive club in Mallorca. Barack, however, was noticeably absent

This shocking revelation comes amid swirling rumors about the state of her 33-year marriage to Barack. The couple's absence from recent high-profile events has sparked speculation that their union may be on shaky ground.

Michelle's latest move has only added fuel to the fire: she was spotted having lunch with her daughters and another surprising companion at an exclusive beach club in Mallorca, while Barack was noticeably absent.

The former First Lady has been open about her marriage struggles throughout the years, including a recent episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast where she dismissed speculation about marital issues. "If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it," Michelle insisted.

Michelle recently made it clear during a podcast appearance that she doesn't like being referred to as 'Mrs. Obama'. Pictured: Former president Barack Obama attends a Los Angeles Clippers with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in March

But behind-the-scenes whispers suggest otherwise. Michelle's absence from January's presidential inauguration and Jimmy Carter's funeral has raised eyebrows, while her skipping the NBA All-Star Game in March sparked concern.

Despite these rumors, Michelle remains defiant. "I wouldn't trade it" she said of her marriage to President Obama, affectionately referring to him as "my person." "The beauty of my husband and our partnership is that neither one of us was ever really, ever going to quit at it, because that's not who we are."

Michelle has also been candid about her own struggles, revealing on a recent episode of On The Jay Shetty Podcast that she's in therapy to help her transition into the "next phase" of her life. "I'm 60 years old, I've finished a really hard thing in my life with my family intact, I'm an empty nester, my girls are launched," she shared.

The former first lady made the shocking remark on Wednesday's episode of her podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her older brother Craig Robinson. It came up as the siblings discussed societal views on masculinity and the challenges of raising boys with Angie Martinez

As she navigates this new chapter, Michelle emphasized the importance of self-reflection and personal growth. "Every choice that I'm making is completely mine," she said. "I now don't have the excuse of, 'Well, my kids need this' or 'My husband needs that' or 'The country needs that.'"

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Michelle and Barack's marriage, but one thing is certain: these two are in it for the long haul.
